BEIJING -- Chinese authorities on Friday earmarked 450 million yuan (about $63 million) to support post-disaster restoration in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei after torrential rains caused heavy casualties and property losses.
The central budget funds will be used to support the restoration of damaged water conservancy projects and facilities in regions that have been hit hard by rainstorms and floods, according to the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Water Resources.
Chinese authorities have launched massive rescue and relief efforts in response to typhoon-induced torrential rains, which left 11 dead in Beijing and 9 dead in Hebei.
